Sunday, April 29 - Market of the Diaspora
What does it sound like when the silenced speak?
What does it look like when the tribes reconvene?
What does it feel like when our roots find the river underneath?
When we share the fruit of our heritage and plant our elders' seeds?
Join us as we come together to celebrate the stories, songs and wisdom that have carried us on our journeys from the lands of our origin to this moment, where we are a global family of the diaspora.
Throughout the day, experience live theatre, music performances and artwork from local artists, participate in storytelling, workshops and eat healthy, local food.
The Market of the Diaspora is an event to open conversations with respect to social, race and food justice, to illuminate our individual and collective strengths, to remember, reconnect and recreate our communities. This eclectic gathering reflects a way of life stemming from the roots of our traditional knowledge and brimming with the seeds for our shared future.
Have something you want to contribute to the event (music performance, artwork, storytelling, workshops)? We would love to hear from you! Email tppgta at gmail dot com
This event will be held at Children's Peace Theatre (305 Dawes Rd.) on Sunday, April 29 from 12-6pm.
